This package implements the softmax aggregation method for calculating Plant Stress Response Index (PSRI) from time-series germination data under environmental stressors including prions, xenobiotics, osmotic stress, heavy metals, and chemical contaminants. Provides zero-robust PSRI computation through adaptive softmax weighting of germination components (Maximum Stress-adjusted Germination, Maximum Rate of Germination, complementary Mean Time to Germination, and Radicle Vigor Score), eliminating the zero-collapse failure mode of the geometric mean approach implemented in PSRICalc'. Includes perplexity-based temperature parameter calibration and modular component functions for transparent germination analysis. Built on the methodological foundation of the Osmotic Stress Response Index (OSRI) framework developed by Walne et al. (2020) <doi:10.1002/agg2.20087>. Note: This package implements methodology currently under peer review. Please contact the author before publication using this approach. Development followed an iterative human-machine collaboration where all algorithmic design, statistical methodologies, and biological validation logic were conceptualized, tested, and iteratively refined by Richard A. Feiss through repeated cycles of running experimental data, evaluating analytical outputs, and selecting among candidate algorithms and approaches. AI systems (Anthropic Claude and OpenAI GPT) served as coding assistants and analytical sounding boards under continuous human direction. The selection of statistical methods, evaluation of biological plausibility, and all final methodology decisions were made by the human author. AI systems did not independently originate algorithms, statistical approaches, or scientific methodologies.

Enables the creation of object pools, which make it less computationally expensive to fetch a new object. Currently the only supported pooled objects are DBI connections.

Global hypothesis tests combine information across multiple endpoints to test a single hypothesis. The prediction test is a recently proposed global hypothesis test with good performance for small sample sizes and many endpoints of interest. The test is also flexible in the types and combinations of expected results across the individual endpoints. This package provides functions for data processing and calculation of the prediction test.

This package provides a collection of functions to do model-based phylogenetic analysis. It includes functions to calculate community phylogenetic diversity, to estimate correlations among functional traits while accounting for phylogenetic relationships, and to fit phylogenetic generalized linear mixed models. The Bayesian phylogenetic generalized linear mixed models are fitted with the INLA package (<https://www.r-inla.org>).

There are three sets of functions. The first produces basic properties of a graph and generates samples from multinomial distributions to facilitate the simulation functions (they maybe used for other purposes as well). The second provides various simulation functions for a Potts model in Potts, R. B. (1952) <doi:10.1017/S0305004100027419>. The third currently includes only one function which computes the normalizing constant of a Potts model based on simulation results.

This package implements a unified framework of parametric simplex method for a variety of sparse learning problems (e.g., Dantzig selector (for linear regression), sparse quantile regression, sparse support vector machines, and compressive sensing) combined with efficient hyper-parameter selection strategies. The core algorithm is implemented in C++ with Eigen3 support for portable high performance linear algebra.

This package provides standardised functions for quantifying plant disease intensity and disease development over time. The package implements Percent Disease Index (PDI) for assessing overall disease severity based on categorical ratings, Area Under the Disease Progress Curve (AUDPC) for summarizing disease progression using trapezoidal integration, and Relative AUDPC (rAUDPC) for expressing disease development relative to the maximum possible severity over the observation period. These indices are widely used in plant pathology and epidemiology for comparing treatments, cultivars, and environments.

This package provides a unified method, called M statistic, is provided for detecting phylogenetic signals in continuous traits, discrete traits, and multi-trait combinations. Blomberg and Garland (2002) <doi:10.1046/j.1420-9101.2002.00472.x> provided a widely accepted statistical definition of the phylogenetic signal, which is the "tendency for related species to resemble each other more than they resemble species drawn at random from the tree". The M statistic strictly adheres to the definition of phylogenetic signal, formulating an index and developing a method of testing in strict accordance with the definition, instead of relying on correlation analysis or evolutionary models. The novel method equivalently expressed the textual definition of the phylogenetic signal as an inequality equation of the phylogenetic and trait distances and constructed the M statistic. The M statistic implemented in this package is based on the methodology described in Yao and Yuan (2025) <doi:10.1002/ece3.71106>. If you use this method in your research, please cite the paper.

Analysis of protein expression data can be done through Principal Component Analysis (PCA), and this R package is designed to streamline the analysis. This package enables users to perform PCA and it generates biplot and scree plot for advanced graphical visualization.
